Pros

Advancement within UBS is disproportionately reliant now on relationships, affiliation and political capital. For some that is a strong attractor. If you excel at those you will find fertile ground to use your skills.

Cons

- lack of strategy. - recurring lack of basic skills in a variety of management practices, particularly in parts of logistics. negotiating skills, organizational behavior, strategy, etc. - very insular culture. many managers appear to be threatened by well-known best practices, advanced education, external standards, etc.
